Installing a new opatch version when an older version already exists

Hi,
I'm going to apply a security patch (CPUJan2009) on 10g databases on Windows server 2003. There is already an opatch tool installed in the oracle home, however the patch requires a newer version. Therefore, is it possible to directly install the newer version into the same opatch folder (what will then happen to the older version? will there be a conflict when installing the new version?) or do I first need to deinstall the older version?
Also, how can I backup the older version? Just copy/paste the folder in another location?
Thanks.

There is no deinstallation, just do following:
cd $ORACLE_HOME
mv OPatch OPatch.old
unzip new OPatch which YOu downloaded from metalink
And that's it
Also, how can I backup the older version? Just copy/paste the folder in another location?Yes, copy or move. OPatch is simply collection of files, there is nothing installed. so no need to deinstall.

  • Does upgrading to new pages on iPad remove older version of pages

    Does upgrading to new pages on iPad remove older version of pages. In other words, after upgrading will I be able to open older Pages documents on the iPad?

    I took a while to figure this out after I got into the same mess. The new iWorks is a very bad downgrade. I have deleted Pages 5 from my Mac and gone back to Pages 4.3 (it is still there and was not removed when you updated to Pages 5.)
    I then deleted Pages 2 from my iPad and from iTunes.
    I used TIme Machine to go back to ~/Music/iTunes/Mobile Applications in September and found "Pages 1.7.2.ipa" and brought it forward to my desktop. I then droped it into the iTunes icon in the Dock and it reinstalled.
    Hope this works for you.
    Apple can now take as long as they need to correct all the mistakes they made with the current version of iWorks - I will not be upgrading again until they do.
    Apple - Are you listening?

  • Ever since Firefox 3, I have never been able to upgrade easily. I always get a message telling me I am replacing my version with an older version. How is that possible?

    When I download the newest version (this time it was 5, but I had the same problem with 4) and I drag the Firefox Logo to my Applications folder in Mac OSX (10.6.7) I get a message saying I am replacing my version with an OLDER VERSION. How can this be? When I check the Firefox "About" tab, it tells me I am still using 4, so how, if I just dragged 5 to my Applications folder, can I be replacing 4 with an "older" version? Truth be told, my Firefox has never functioned properly since 4, and now I have little "Firefox hard drive icons" all over my desktop. What happened?
    I am having trouble with Comcast's XFINITY and they told me to update and maximize my browser. I don't seem to be able to do that. I just downloaded Firefox 5.0, but my version still says 4.1.

  • I always have the message : An older item already exist.

    When I copy file (that is already on the server) from imacSnow 10.6.7 to server tiger10.4.11, I always have the message : An older item already exist. Even if the file have the same or earlier date. The server and the Imac have the same time and zone on their clock.

    If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
    * Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

  • I am unable to install the new itunes due to the old version (which I uninstalled) still hanging around

    My old version was corrupted and would not upgrade.  I have uninstalled according to Apple's direction however I cannot install the new version. I even tried a REVO uninstall of all apple products.  Each reinstall attempt fails due to the old version.  Help appreciated!!! Comments refering me to Apple's (useless) instructions or offering obvious assements are not needed.  Thanks!!!

  • How do I use a newer iTunes library on an older version of iTunes?

    I have an iTunes Library on my MacBook Pro running iTunes 11.1..5.  I want to copy the library to my older G5 PowerPC with an older version of iTunes which has recently had a new drive installed (because of the old drive failing) and new Leopard System (the limit for the G5). 
    It seems I cannot just copy it to the G5 because I get a message like "cannot open iTunes Library because it is a newer version" or somethihng like that.  It suggests updating iTunes but iTunes is upgraded to the max on the G5..
    How can I convert my iTunes Library to run on the older version of iTunes?  There are several suggestions available online, but none of them seem to fix the problem.
    Anyone know how to fix this?  My iTunes Library is extensive and I cannot even entertain the thought of reloading all that music and video!

    In the iTunes folder on the G5...
    Delete the file iTunes library.itl.
    Move the iTunes library.xml (or iTunes Music library.xml) to the desktop.
    Start iTunes.
    iTunes menu File > Library > Import playlist and select the iTunes library.xml you moved to the desktop.
    You can then delete the file on the desktop.

  • Installing i-tunes i get the message "older version of bonjour cannot be removed". What to do? I have uninstalled all old itunes/apple programs

    My itunes crashed and I uninstalled all apple/itunes products (I thought) and tried a fresh install. When I install I get the message "older version of bonjour cannot be removed" or "bonjour.msi" not available. How do I reinstall itunes from here?

    When I install I get the message "older version of bonjour cannot be removed" or "bonjour.msi" not available.
    Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeks are worth checking.)
    After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp. Restart the PC, and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Installing SQL-Server with WiX : fails if older version is present

    Hi,
    I have a problem with my SQLServer 2014(Express) silent installation, in case there is a older Version e.g. SQL-Server 2012(Express) installed.
    The log shows the following error:
    [02DC:0C48][2014-12-04T10:53:30]i301: Applying execute package: SQLEXPR_x64_ENU.exe, action: Install, path: C:\ProgramData\Package Cache\38E0D08F06AF2F907E1AEBDCA0444B828AE356B5\SQLEXPR_x64_ENU.exe, arguments: '"C:\ProgramData\Package Cache\38E0D08F06AF2F907E1AEBDCA0444B828AE356B5\SQLEXPR_x64_ENU.exe" /ACTION=Install /INSTANCENAME=SQLExpress /FEATURES=SQL,Tools /TCPENABLED=1 /SQLSVCACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE" /SQLSVCSTARTUPTYPE=Automatic /SQLSYSADMINACCOUNTS=BUILTIN\Administrators /ADDCURRENTUSERASSQLADMIN=TRUE /Q /HIDECONSOLE /SkipRules=RebootRequiredCheck /IAcceptSQLServerLicenseTerms'

    Some facts:
    - My setup works well, if I use a plain Windows 7/64 installation (VM)
    - If I uninstall the older SQL-Server Version, setup works well also.
    - The SQLServer installation is part of a WiX-Bootstrapping project

    Hello Rainer,
    The installation don't fail because an "older" instance exists, it fail because an SQL Server instance with the same name already exits; SQLEXPRESS is the default name and very common, you will see a lot of machines running a SQLEXPRESS instance.
    Instance names must be unique per machine, so use a different instance name for your application, e.g. "SQLRainerQueck"

  • New Adobe Reader will not older version files

    Is that true : Adobe is likely to come out with a new version of Adobe reader that will not read Acrobat files which are created in older versions like 6 or 7

    It is true that newer Reader versions are more sensitive to old (or new) documents that contain errors.  But for correct documents, all new Reader versions are fully backwards compatible.
